This has been one of my favorite stores for the past 6 or 7 years. Back in Chicago there were several within the city limits and surrounding suburbs. I would go to a Nordstrom Rack every couple of weeks because the merchandise was constantly changing.
I've found awesome finds such as Citizen jeans for $18, multiple French Connection dresses ranging from $30 - $40, and Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses for $50. Each location had a great selection. So great that I would spend at least 2 hours in the store every visit.
Naturally I was super, duper excited when I found out that one was coming to Charlotte. I ran through the streets of my neighborhood shouting, "It's here! It's finally here!" Okay maybe I didn't do that, but I did hire a jet pilot to write a message in the sky. Nope, didn't do that either. I did however, make the almost 40 minute drive from where I live to the store smiling and giggling all the way like a school girl with a crush. I arrived expecting to leave the store with at least 2 bags full of loot but instead I left with crushed hopes and dreams :( The selection of clothes, shoes and accessories was pretty underwhelming. Definitely wasted my time and gas. For shoppers who have never experienced a Nordstrom Rack in a major city the one here may suffice. For those of us who only know big city Nordstrom Racks, don't waste your time unless you live around the corner from the store and are bored.
